Indian style ice cream /dessert made with thickened milk and mangoes pulp

Mangoes and summer are welcomed together. We start making many types of dishes, pickles and different preserves from mangoes. Mango kulfi is the best summer dessert made with mangoes as the best relief from the hot summers is to have ice-cream or kulfis.

Kulfi is an Indian version of  ice-cream but much creamier, nutty and dense then the regular ice cream ,traditionally it is made with thickened creamy milk but now we try many instant version to make kulfi which are less time consuming but taste similar to the traditional one.

In small Indian cities, town and villages hawkers still comes with a cart filled with creamy kulfi and ringing a bell and the after hearing the bell kulfi lovers came out  from their house and buy kulfi..The taste of the kulfi is very addictive. You can add nuts and any fruit pulp of your choice in it.
